The Next Director: João Pedro Rodrigues at BAM

O Fantasma

To Die Like a Man

BAM Cinematek will be presenting a retrospective of João Pedro Rodrigues's three features and two of his short films in October. Unfortunately my NYFF schedule conflicts with two of the screenings, for Odete and To Die Like a Man, but I will be seeing his remarkable debut, O Fantasma (above) plus a short, Happy Birthday!, and there will be a discussion with Rodrigues after the films. Why BAM perversely decided to program these films at the same time as the New York Film Festival is a mystery to me.
